"The nostalgia tour continued. Been 27 years since my last visit here. It’s nice to see that there is now a paved access road with paved parking lots nowadays. Amboy Crater was the same, though, and there is nothing wrong with that." — MikeTeeples • May 18, 2024
"Very pleasant hike to the summit from Terry Summit Road. Hiked the last 0.75 mile each way. Enjoyed the vistas from the Fire Lookout.
Am concerned about the new residential developments that are going in, as this will reduce the opportunity to hike some of the other unnamed peaks along Terry Summit Road. Already, utilities going in and "for sale" and "no trespassing" signs are being installed along parts of the corridor. " — rick-brown • May 18, 2024
"Having a nostalgic day in the desert. Been 24 years since my last visit to Kelso Dunes. I think what I forgot was how hard it is to climb a pile of sand. It is now fresh in my mind." — MikeTeeples • May 18, 2024
"It would be nice to link something else with this peak. I was taking pictures of the blooming flowers on the way up and It took just over a half an hour to get there. Not very long or much elevation gain. I made it a loop hike to add some distance. " — Heartattackbruce • May 18, 2024
"Brought my chainsaw and loppers to clear some downed trees and brush that fell on the trail from recent storms. Spent time talking with one of the family owners of the Driskill Mtn. properties and then headed up to the summit for the 38th time." — StoneMan • May 18, 2024
